The 1996 IRIS Workshop will be held at the Inn at Semi-ah-moo, near Blaine, Washington. It is located just south of the US/Canadian border, sitting on a finger which separates Drayton Harbor from Semiahmoo Bay. The Inn provides great meeting facilities as well as many wonderful outdoor and family activities.
The Workshop will begin with an icebreaker and registration on Wednesday evening, followed by scientific sessions Thursday through Saturday. We will tentatively take one afternoon to offer an optional group field trip to nearby Mt. Baker and North Cascades National Park. In keeping with the Workshop venue in the Pacific Northwest, one of the scientific themes will be a review of the numerous studies in recent years of the lithospheric structure of the region and the evolving picture of the tectonic fabric and seismic potential of Cascadia and surrounding areas. There is still time to be involved in the planning for the Workshop. Please contact the IRIS office if you have suggestions for scientific themes, SIGS or demonstrations.
Participation in the workshop is not limited to IRIS members and all interested parties are welcome to attend, subject to availability of accommodations. Mark your calendars, and keep an eye out for more information to be mailed early in the new year.
